Resync raid drives

I am using two drives as mirrored drives (raid1) on two RH9 servers. On both
servers, the raid setup has lost a device. I don't belive the drives are
faulty, in fact I can boot with either and see data on the drives, however,
it is older on one of them. I believe the drives have become out of sync doe
to a crash at some stage.

[root at loki root]# dmesg |grep raid
raid1: md1, not all disks are operational -- trying to recover array
raid1: raid set md1 active with 1 out of 2 mirrors

[root at loki root]# cat /proc/mdstat 
Personalities : [raid1] 
read_ahead 1024 sectors
md1 : active raid1 hda3[0]
      116093632 blocks [2/1] [U_]



How do I resync them? There doesn't seem to be much literature out there on
this that is current.
